Here is my entry for the D-Day 75 Anniversary competitionI’ll be building the LCVP Landing Craft with US Infantry by Italeri with 1:35 Eduard Photoetch Etched parts

Developed by Higgins Industries of New Orleans on the basis of a flatbottomedboat used in the Louisiana marshlands, the LCVP (Landing Craft,Vehicle and Personnel) took part in all the major amphibious operations ofSecond World War, in Europe and the Pacific. Its task was to shuttle backand forth between the big ships and the beaches, carrying up to thirty men,light vehicles and anything else that was needed. Generally armed with tworear-mounted machine guns, it was powered by a 250 HP Hall Scott petrolengine or a 225 HP Gray diesel engine. After the end of the Second WorldWar the LCVP stayed in service, occupying a number of roles. It saw actionin Korea and Indochina and has also been adapted for civilian use all overthe world.

Joined the forum to see how this build goes - I used to love building model kits ~15 years ago, but haven't made the time for a very long while.I bought this exact kit ~6 mons ago and have yet to really start in anger (making time...!). Work, family and moving house means there's no way I'll be done by June to enter, but I'd love to see how the experts do things, so I'll be following this with great interest (and envy!) Good look!

So, I've finally received the kit today. Just waiting for the etched brass extras which was ordered the same day as the kit. The model arrived today from Italy, whilst still waiting for the etched brass which is being send from this country.Looks like I'm going to have fun with the infantry.
